How can the farmer and stock rais
er turn the live-stock reports of the
Bureau of Markets United States De
partment of Agriculture, into dollars
is frequently asked.
The answer is for the farm(,: to get
so much information out of the reports
that he can conduct his breeding,
feeding, and marketing operations a
little more intelligently in the future,
and therefore more profitably than in
the part.
Markets Move in Cycles.
Market reports are history, and the
chief value of history is the basis
which it provides on which to forecast
the future. In other words, what has
happened in the past will probably oc
cur again under the same or similar
circumstances.
Small benefit is ienerally derived
from reading a single market report,
ore one covering a short period of
time. Markets move in cycles, and the
man who would keep informed must
follow them diligently in season and
out. This is a matter of particular
importance.to the stockman, because
his business is, to an unusual degree,
a long-time speculation. le must
prepare now and lay is plans today
in the light of what 'he thinks the
market will be anywhere from six
months to tow years hence. But how
will the department's report assist
him in domg this?
First of all, he should take into ac

gount of live stock in which he is in
terested. Assume that cattle is his
line. The monthly report Stock at
Stockyards, gives the numfler of cat
tle andi calves marketed from month
to month through 68 central markets.
If such movements are unusually
heavy for any considerable, time, it
may indicate a cattle shortage during
the next year or two, and a shortage
of any commodity usually means high
er prices. * *
This same report also shows the
number of cattle and calves that went
back to the country as stockers and
feeders. If such movements were ex
ceptionally light, it would help to con
firmt the belief that a com arative
shortage in cattle was impending. On
the other hand, heavy stocker and
feeder shipments would go'a long way
toward neutralizing the importance
-of the heavy. receipts, for the stock
man would know tnat most of these
cattle going back to the country must
be returned to market during the next
few weeks or months and eifter con
sumption channels.
Having established in this fashion
a broad basis for his operations, let
us assume the stockman is feeding a
lot of steers for the market. le must
now give market reports more care
ful and persistent attention than be
fore. It is quite important that he
know what kind of cattle are in best
demand on the principal markets. If
there is 'a steady inquiry for heavy

it will probably pay him to "feed his
eattle out," unless the cost of feed is
exceptionally high.
If, however, consumptive demand
seems to be drifting steadily toward
lighter retail cuts of meat, or, because
f general business depression or some
>thcr cause, is centering chiefly on the
lower and cheaper grades, he may find
it more profitable to market his cat
tle at an earlier age and before they
have attained great weight.
Abundant information along this
line will be found both in the live
stock market reports and the reports
lealing with meat-trade conditions In
the large consuming centers.
Keep Posted on Consumption
In this connection the stockman will
ilso be interested in keeping advised
as to whether the slaughter of meat
is increasing or decreasing and whe
ther the movement applies equally to
all classes of meat, or whether
slaughter of beef is decreasing while
that of some other class is increasing.
This information is obtainable from
the statistical report covering the live
stock and meat situation, which is
based oil the Federal meat-inspection
reports of the Bureau of Animal In
lustry and is also published monthly
)y the Bureau of Markets.

PRICES OF FARM CROPS
BELO)W PREWAR AVERAGE
The prices of six of the important
crops on May I of this year were be
ow the prewar average prices for that
late according to figures collected by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
These crops are corn, oats, barley,
[lax, potatoes, and cottcn. The report
showed that the prices of the three
Lcrains-wheat, rye, and buckwheat
wvere above the prewar average prices.
During April the average price of
wheat declined from $1.50 to $1.23
per bushel. The report. shows that in
xeneral the industrial crops, such as
lax, cotton, and broom corn, are the
most depressed in price, and that food
rops, such as wheat, rye, potatoes,
aind apples show relatively less de
:ine.
The prices in various parts of the
country vary, with South Dakota be
ing the center of the low-price district
Lhe May I report shows. The aver
agc price of wheat in that State was
)0 cents per bushel, and in some
counties it was as low as 70 cents.
Corn was selling at an average price
f 32 cents per bushel in South Dako
ta, while the average price for the
United States was nearly 60 cents.
The price of oats was 23 cents per
bushel in South Dakota, the average
for the United States being 36.8 cents.
The report showed a bigI decline in
the price of old potatoes, especially in
Michigan, where the average was 29
cents a bushel, which was 20 cents be
low the average for the United
States.
